Abstract

For the procedures of creating situational awareness an important element is the freshness (timeliness) of data and the credibility of information sources. A modern and rich source of such data may be sensor networks, but their use as a reliable source of data is a major challenge mainly because the sensor nodes in the network are usually mobile, use wireless links, have a small computing power and have small energy resources. The paper presents a new concept of a secure sensor nodes domain, which is a very reliable source of sensor data. The data transferred inside the domain are protected by cryptography, cryptographic material stored in the resources of sensor nodes is also protected by cryptography, and data obtained from sensor nodes from the place of their acquisition to the sink node are protected. Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is used to support the process of securing the data in the domain. In the second part of the paper developed a secured domain demonstrator for sensor nodes is described, which illustrates the functioning of the key elements of the concept presented.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Sensor node - the element of sensor network, which includes at least the measuring element (sensor), microcontroller and communication module that allows transfer of measured data through wireless connections.

    Sensor - measuring component of the sensor node.

  2. 2.

    This implementation of a secure domain demonstrator uses the TPM 1.2, which offers support for RSA 2048, but there is nothing to prevent the use of the TPM 2.0, which allows the use of ECC cryptography.

  3. 3.

    Used module meets the requirements described in Security Policy for Atmel TPM 9, as well as the strength requirements of FIPS 140-2, Level 2 7.
